Abstract
In an article, a binding layer formed through a heating step exists between a permanent magnet and a laminate of steel plates. The binding layer is formed by producing a liquid phase at the heating step from a brazing filler metal made of a rare earth element-based alloy. Diffusion areas exist between a body portion of the permanent magnet and a body portion of the binding layer and between a body portion of the laminate and the body portion of the binding layer, respectively. The thickness t of each of the diffusion areas is in a range of t.gtoreq.5 .mu.m. The bond strength in the article is greatly increased by the provision of the diffusion areas.
